Ahead of her SummerSlam match with Ronda Rousey, WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan joined the Pat McAfee Show to talk about her journey in WWE and what she expects to for her match with Rousey.
Liv Morgan talked about how Lita was an inspiration to her while growing up:
“She was the first female wrestler that I feel like I resonated with. She wrestled the boys, she wore baggy pants, and I grew up with four older brothers that I wrestled with in my backyard. I considered myself such a tomboy. So here’s this woman that’s working the boys and wearing baggy pants and sneakers. I saw her and thought, maybe she could be my friend. That’s something that I helped to give my fans.”
Morgan talking about the validation from the fans that she deserves to be SmackDown Women’s Champion:
“It means so much to me because I kind of came up in an era where we were just kind of discovering the Four Horsewomen and kind of feeling like I’m getting lost in the shuffle of these amazing women. To not be a Four Horsewomen, to not be a generational superstar, to not have any famous friends or family, to just have done this hard work, it means so much to me to be recognized.”
